The species has been given the Gaelic name Dearc sgiathanach, which translates as ‘winged reptile’ and also references Skye.
The new development was designed to complement the landscape with Rural Design’s Alan Dickson mindful of the National Scenic Area designation which blankets Staffin. It includes significant stonework with walls and a gable end feature and the use of timber and traditional slated roofs.
Kinlochleven Community Council again failed to attract half the maximum membership required.
The three-bedroom homes at Taighean a’ Chaisheil in Stenscholl, Staffin will be completed on Monday, January 17.
OSH will be contributing 5p per Kg of head on gutted fish harvested from their farms to the fund, and the money will then be used for various community projects.
Stenscholl crofters select Gaelic name for long-awaited housing development as new health building takes shape.
The ceremony will be filmed in Stornoway this year and presented by Fiona Mackenzie and Niall Iain MacDonald.
Community Land Scotland are encouraging people, inparticular young families, to return to their local areas and are asking the Scottish Government to extend their Rural and Islands Housing Fund to help them do this.
